Description
Acharnes, Charavgi. Junction of Irakleous and Zaimi Streets. M. Platonos (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery, east of Philadelpheias street and southwest of the junction with the above roads, of 10 tombs from a Classical cemetery, of which eight were pyres in rock-cut pits (Fig. 1) and two were tile graves. Goods comprise black-glaze and red-figure lekythoi, a black-figure cylindrical pyxis with a lid decorated with water fowl (Fig. 2), a black-glaze aryballoid lekythos, an oinochoe with a scene of a man and dog, an olpe (Fig. 3), a black-figure lekythos, and a black-glaze skyphos, dating from the late seventh to the end of the fourth century BC. One pyre contained 12 loomweights. From the disturbed fill of another pyre came the neck of a black-figure loutrophoros with a procession scene (Fig. 4).
One further grave contained a small limestone sarcophagus (1.2 x 0.54 x 0.41m) for a small child, with a pedimental cover. Inside were four white-ground lekythoi (Fig. 5), an olpe, an aryballoid lekythos with meander pattern, a larger red-figure aryballoid lekythos with a Nike (Fig. 6), a black-glaze amphoriskos (Fig. 7), a bird figurine and a metal ear-pick. The tomb dates to 450-420BC.
